The West Shore School District is offering summer remediation and acceleration courses at NO COST to students or their families this year.

Credit Recovery Courses are available for middle and high school students to retake a class previously taken but failed by the student. These credit recovery courses contain only the essential course content and can be completed in a very condensed time frame over the six-week summer school program.  All credit recovery courses will be delivered online through CAOLA are self-paced. Courses will be monitored by West Shore staff. Middle school offerings include ELA and math only.   

Credit Acceleration Courses are available for current high school students interested in taking a course for the first time for original course credit.  These acceleration courses contain the full course content and require a greater time commitment from the student.  Typical semester based (.50 credit) courses can reasonably be completed within a six-week summer school program. Yearlong (1.0 credit) acceleration courses will require a substantial time commitment from the student and will necessitate eight weeks of intensive learning for completion.  Only a limited selection of courses for acceleration are available online through CAOLA or Schoology, and these courses will be monitored by West Shore staff.  

Orientation for Schoology Acceleration Courses will be posted by the teacher monitor along with information posted within the Schoology course.

Orientation for CAOLA Courses will be shared by the CAOLA Advisor.
